4. A pop-up will appear with instructions. Choose the Time Based Tokens method and then click Get Started.

5. Using an authenticator application like Google Authenticator or Duo, scan the QR code below to connect your app. If you are having trouble scanning the code, as a work around you can enter the code manually.
